Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 742 The Key to Two Devious Schemes (2)

The spear of light, carrying an aura of purification, pierced the giant hand. The black chaotic energy on the giant hand rapidly dissolved the moment it struck, and the silver-gray energy also rippled.

The Lord of Reset let out a cry of pain, and his giant hand abruptly retracted into the crack, his light stream dimming.

Taking advantage of this gap, the fusion entity no longer hesitated and accelerated towards the energy node, gathering all its power in the light spear in its hand and fiercely stabbing it into the energy vortex.

With a crisp "crack," a crack appeared in the energy vortex, and the black and silver-gray energy began to become disordered, causing the fluctuations of the entire energy network to become unstable.

"No!" the Lord of Reset roared, releasing a massive amount of energy once more in an attempt to repair the node.

The fusion entity was already prepared; the six-colored light streams transformed into countless tiny light needles, densely piercing the cracks and completely destroying the node's energy structure.

Without the support of its core nodes, the energy network instantly disintegrated, and the black chaotic tentacles and silver-gray light threads turned into specks of energy fragments that dissipated into the universe.

The Ark broke free from its restraints, its engines regained power, and it slowly approached the fused entity.

The merged entity breathed a sigh of relief and was about to return to the Ark when it suddenly felt a strong sense of danger coming from behind. It whirled around and saw that the light from the Reset Lord within the spacetime rift had suddenly become unusually intense, and a familiar, low roar echoed from the depths of the rift—it was the voice of the remnant soul of the chaotic consciousness that had been purified earlier!

"How is that possible? Weren't you already purified by the source of order?"

The fused entity's expression changed drastically. She could clearly sense that the intensity of the chaotic energy in the crack was several times stronger than before.

The Lord of Reset's laughter rang out again, tinged with an eeriness:

"Do you really think that the Chaos Consciousness only has two remnant souls? The Source of Order that you awakened did purify the remnant souls around me, but it also broke the seal of the Chaos Consciousness!"

The spacetime rift suddenly expanded several times, and a huge black figure slowly emerged from the rift, surrounded by dense chaotic energy. Its pair of scarlet eyes were fixed on the fused body, which was the core of the consciousness of the extraterrestrial chaos!

The people inside the cabin were completely stunned. They had not expected that destroying the energy node would have such consequences.

The black and white light stream of the new consciousness entity circulated wildly, and records of the original chaotic consciousness entity from the first generation's memories flashed by rapidly:

"The chaotic consciousness itself possesses the ability to devour all energy; even the origin of order cannot easily and completely destroy it!"

The chaotic consciousness itself let out a deafening roar, and countless thick black tentacles stretched out from the crack, attacking the fused entity and the Ark simultaneously.

Wherever the tentacles passed, they tore tiny cracks in the universe, and the terrifying aura caused the entire cosmic ocean to tremble.

The fused entity immediately manipulated the key to release energy. Six-colored light, along with order runes and three-colored energy, intertwined to form a massive light shield, blocking the approaching tentacles. However, the tentacles' strength far exceeded expectations, and the light shield continued to cave in under their weight, threatening to shatter at any moment.

The people on the ark also unleashed their full energy to support the fusion.

The flames of Yan Jin transformed into a fire dragon, the vast sea solidified into an ice wall, the black and white light streams of the new consciousness became a defensive barrier, and the primordial void remnants released void power, attempting to weaken the energy of the tentacles.

Even so, their defenses could barely hold up against the attacks of the Chaos Consciousness itself.

"If this continues, we will all be swallowed up!"

Yan Jin's voice was filled with anxiety, as the flame energy was already showing signs of depletion. "Fusion body, is there any way to awaken the source of order again?"

The fusion body gave a bitter smile. She could feel that the power of the source of order within the key was almost gone. It had consumed too much energy when it was awakened before, and it was impossible to activate it again in a short period of time.

"The power of the origin of order is insufficient to contend against the true form of chaos!"

Just as everyone was in despair, the key in the fusion body's hand suddenly became restless again. This time, it wasn't just the silver spacetime patterns that were restless, but also the six-colored light itself.

Suddenly, an ancient whisper, never heard before, echoed in her mind, as if it came from the depths of the ultimate balance core.

She subconsciously looked toward the ultimate balance core and discovered that the golden order energy and silver spacetime energy on the core's surface were flowing rapidly, forming a spiral energy trajectory. The shape of this trajectory perfectly matched the pattern on the key.

"The connection between the key and the core!"

The new consciousness also noticed this change, and a key memory from the first generation emerged in his black and white light stream: "After the ultimate balance key is fully connected with the core, it can activate the full power of the core!"

"But when you tried to connect before, it wasn't completely successful because of the interference from the remnant soul of chaos!"

A thought struck the merged entity, and she immediately attempted to re-establish a connection with the core. The six-colored light of the key resonated with the energy trajectory of the core, and a beam of light, interwoven with gold and silver, shot out from the core and connected to the key.

Instantly, the fused entity felt a powerful energy surge into its body, and the light of the key became brighter than ever before.

The chaotic consciousness sensed the threat and roared, mobilizing more chaotic energy. Countless tentacles condensed into a huge energy pillar, which blasted towards the connecting light pillar between the fusion body and the core.

If hit, not only will the connection be broken, but the fusion will also suffer severe damage.

"Let's stop it!" Yan Jin, Cang Lan, the new consciousness, and the remnant of the initial void rushed to the fused body at the same time, merging all their energy together to form a four-colored light shield, blocking the energy pillar.

The moment the energy pillar collided with the light shield, the entire universe seemed to fall silent, followed by a devastating energy surge.

The four-colored light shields cracked rapidly under the impact of the energy pillars, and everyone's light streams dimmed, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered without retreating a single step.

The fused entity looked at its companions who were desperately protecting it behind it, a resolute glint in its eyes.

Without further hesitation, she poured all her consciousness and energy into the key, pushing the connection between the key and the core.

The key slowly merged into the core's energy trajectory. The moment the two completely overlapped, the ultimate balance core erupted with a beam of light that pierced through the cosmic sea. Golden order energy and silver spacetime energy intertwined, forming a massive energy storm that swept towards the chaotic consciousness and the spacetime rift.

The chaotic consciousness itself let out a painful roar, its massive body continuously dissolving in the energy storm, while the black chaotic energy rapidly dissipated as if it had encountered its nemesis.

The spacetime rift also began to shrink under the influence of the energy storm, and the silver-gray light stream of the Reset Lord was enveloped by the storm and could no longer emerge from the rift.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the crisis was finally over.

The fusion body suddenly felt an anomaly in the connection between the key and the core. A strange energy surged from the depths of the core and flowed into her consciousness through the connection.

This energy belongs neither to the origin of order nor to the origin of spacetime; it carries an ancient and eerie aura.

At the same time, the light on the surface of the Ultimate Balance Core began to become unstable, and a faint gray gradually mixed into the golden and silver energy.

Within the consciousness of the merged entity, that ancient whisper resounded once more, this time clearer: "The balance is broken, the origin awakens, chaos and order will ultimately unite..."

To her horror, she discovered that her consciousness was beginning to form a strange bond with the core, as if she were about to be devoured by it.

Meanwhile, the unfamiliar gray energy at the core was flowing into her body along with the bound consciousness, causing gray patterns to appear in her six-colored light stream.

The people inside the cabin noticed the abnormality of the fusion body. Yan Jin immediately released energy to try to awaken her, but the energy was repelled by the light emanating from the core as soon as it touched the fusion body.

The new consciousness rapidly analyzed this unfamiliar energy with its black and white light stream, an expression of disbelief appearing on its face:

"This is... the energy of 'Balance and Unity'! The first generation's memories record that this is the ultimate form of the ultimate balance core, but once activated, it will completely change the rules of the entire cosmic sea!"

The spacetime rift that was about to close suddenly stopped contracting. Within the rift, the last trace of energy remaining in the Chaos Consciousness entity merged with the silver-gray energy of the Reset Lord, transforming into a gray light blade that shot fiercely toward the connection point between the fused entity and the core.

"careful!"

Canglan shouted, but the fused entity was bound by the core energy and could not dodge at all.

The gray light blade struck the connection point precisely, and the consciousness of the fused entity jolted violently. The gray energy in its core erupted instantly, and her six-colored light stream was completely covered by gray.

The light from the ultimate balance core suddenly surged, and the energy of the entire cosmic ocean began to converge towards the core.

The fused entity hovered in front of the core, its eyes devoid of luster, its body radiating a gray energy that belonged neither to order nor chaos, and the key in its hand completely merged into the core and disappeared.

Everyone stared in bewilderment at the scene before them. They didn't know whether the fused entity had successfully taken control of the core or had been completely devoured by it.

The gray energy emanating from the core is rapidly spreading throughout the entire cosmic sea, and a crisis concerning the reshaping of the rules of the cosmic sea has only just begun.

What unsettled them even more was that a voice, both familiar and unfamiliar, suddenly echoed within the consciousness of the merged entity, carrying an all-encompassing majesty: "The new order of the cosmic sea will be established by me..."
